ITV Racing Offer – William Hill

There’s a big schedule of ITV racing today and you don’t want to miss this William Hill ‘Bet £10, Get £5’ offer! Simply bet £10.00 on today’s ITV racing and William Hill will give us a £5.00 free bet to use on the World Cup 2018. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £3.56 and here’s how…

Qualifying Bet:

If you’re unfamiliar with qualifying bets, please see my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how it should be done.

Qualifying bets must be placed at odds of 1.50 (1/2) or greater between 09:00 and 16:00 (last race) on Saturday 9th June 2018, to be eligible.

Having looked at the odds available, we could place our qualifying bet on Podemos in the 14:15 at Haydock.

At the time of writing, laying our bet with Smarkets gives us the smallest qualifying loss.

We can calculate our lay stake using my matched betting calculator…

As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £9.76…

Place £10.00 on Podemos @ 3.25 = Potential profit of £22.50

Smarkets logo

Lay £9.76 on Podemos @ 3.35 = Potential liability of £22.93

Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…

Podemos wins + £22.50 – £22.93 = £0.43 loss
Podemos doesn’t win – £10.00 + £9.56 (£9.76 minus 2% commission) = £0.44 loss

So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll lose a maximum of £0.44 in qualifying for our £5.00 free bet.

Free Bet:

Our £5.00 free bet will be credited by 09:00 on Thursday 14th June 2018 and can be used on any World Cup 2018 market played on or before 08:00 on Monday 18th June 2018.

By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract 80% cash from the £5.00 free bet, so £4.00. If we take into account our maximum qualifying loss of £0.44, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £3.56 on this William Hill offer!

* Podemos didn’t win the race, resulting in a profit of £3.56 on this William Hill offer. *
